In a small eel-farming town in the west of Greece, two women live solitary lives while dreaming of getting away. One of them is Elisabeth, a once-ambitious policewoman forced to relocate from Athens ten years ago and now living a joyless, hung over life; the other is Rita, a quiet, mysterious sister of a local music star. When a sudden suicide case upsets the town and turns the local community upside-down, the two women who have been ignoring each other’s existence so far begin drifting towards each other. It seems that the mysteries hidden in the swamps will unite their destinies forever.
World premiere in the Berlin Film Festival’s Panorama section 2019.
